"Engrossing history, vivid contemporary reporting, and a cogent call to action, expertly blended in an illuminating text.". Kirkus Reviews. The subtitle of this work,"The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil," captures the delectable, and distasteful, essence of its topic.

Historical context is provided, which is peppered with references and lavish quotes that still inspire olive oil makers today. A.W. (c) AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine. AudioFile Magazine.
